CABIN SHELLS BUILT BY

Snowbird Homes and Land specializes in building small cabin shells from 460 to 1380 square feet or less that help a land owner get started with a small vacation home. We build these modular shells off-site and assemble them on-site. Saves in time and money. Start small and add on when you can afford it! A dried in shell can be finished at a later date by the home owner or other contractors. We have ideas that will make building cost more affordable. See the cabin plans below for the "weekend warrior", three models to choose from! You can start small and add on later. Contact James Kozlik 406 220-1563

Snowbird Homes and Land has current stick frame estimates and can obtain sips panel estimates using traditional SIPS panels http://bigskyrcontrol.com/ or more sustainable panels made of compressed straw www.AGRIBOARD.com

PANELIZED CABIN FEATURES: All featured cabins are shells only. Interior finish can be arranged, ask for estimate.

We offer Structurally Insulated Paneled (SIPS) walls and roof, which are pre assembled insulated panels. Also, we offer Agri Board which is a SIPS panel made of compressed hay. Both are an extra cost, ask for estimate.

I am currently designing a model home made of hemp panels and insulation. This is a sustainable material that breaths to eliminate mold and mositure in the wall cavitities. Hemp is a very organic material. You can mix it in a cement mixer with lime and build hard blocks to form walls for a post and beam home. Call Jim 406 220-1563

I will keep you updated with photos as my project progresses. Hope to start it soon. Getting the material is not an easy task at this time. I am working with a couple of distributors. Hemp comes from Great Britain or Canada at this time. I do have an outfit that I sent plans for a couple of the Robinson Plans (above). So I do have shell prices using their hemp panels.

The project I am working on will be panels using MGO board, metal studs and hemp insulated panels. I'll call them HIP panels (pun intended) instead of SIP's panels:))

Snowbird Homes and Land Container Homes

As one might expect, cost is a primary consideration and benefit of storage container homes. Typical homes of this type are significantly less expensive than their traditional stick-built, brick and mortar counterparts. The reason is simple: the basic materials required are merely the storage containers themselves, which can cost as little as $1,000 each for containers the size of an average room. Furthermore, homes built from storage containers do not require intricate foundations as do traditional homes. In some cases, they may not require a foundation at all or just apier block founation.

Owing to the relatively homogenous dimensions of steel containers, storage container homes are also easier and faster to build. In a sense, steel storage container homes are akin to modular homes, that is, each unit is prefabricated and simply assembled together to create a building. However, in this case, the “pieces” are much bigger, making them easier and faster to adjoin. Additionally, steel containers can be transported very quickly with minimal cost or risk of damage.

We are designing a sustainable unit ideal for one to two persons that includes a living unit and an aquaponic garden unit. These units can also be adapted eaasily for a "live roof". Below is a Hopi design currently being deisgned for a client in Montana.
